Re: 1932 cylinder head distributor mount?
Posted by Sherlock On 2019/12/31 19:03:18
I tracked down a high-res photo of a 1932 engine. It appears the three bolt mount was being used that year. The mounting bracket is very different from 1930, however, in that it is shorter and lacks the two arms and the spark advance plate.
Unless there was a crossover period, the apparently hybrid mount my car has could otherwise only be explicable as a part available for those who wanted to convert to a later HC head.
A manual spark advance linkage is not evident in the attached photo of a 1932. Did Packard use manual spark advance after 1931? If so how was it linked up to the distributor and when was it finally discontinued in favor of vacuum advance?
